Instructions:
Step 1:
Take 12 wooden cubes and glue 3 pieces on each corner to make the stand. Let them dry completely.
Step 2:
Bend the race tracks and place them on opposite corners to make a crisscross. Glue them with hot glue and reinforce them with E6000.
Step 3:
Glue the cotton rope on the center of the tracks using hot glue. Then glue some more rope around the sides and top of the wooden base. Once done, spray paint the whole lantern and let it dry.
Step 4:
Cut the sprigs from the bouquet then place the candle jar in the center. Start arranging the leaves on the base and attach them with hot glue. Then add 3 pumpkins to the front and the berries sprigs on the sides. Put the candlelight on the holder and you are done!
